Our wonderful volunteer Maria Laughlin at Hamilton Farmers' Market

We are a non-profit recycling group, recycling as much as we can with and for folks in Ravalli County.

We are your friends and neighbors who believe that recycling must be a part of our lifestyle in Ravalli County. We believe that recycling is an important way for individuals and businesses to reduce the waste they generate. Ravalli County Recycling (RCR) believes that recycling conserves our natural resources and saves our landfill space.

We have suspended all collection of plastics.

Scrap metal policy: All scrap metals and appliances can go to Modern Recycling on West side of Highway 93, north of Sheafman Creek Road.

1) Needed: Gifts of any amount to help pay a bookkeeper. RCR has grown and dealing with financial aspects of the organization has become too large for just volunteers.

2) Needed: Box cutters for use by volunteers who make cardboard bales

3) Needed: Board members

4) Needed: Volunteers (always)

RCR is up and running in Ravalli County. Every week, we work to divert waste away from
landfills, and instead provide a low-cost solution to those who can bring
recyclables to our dropoff site. Affordable curbside pickup service is
available for those who can't or don't want to bring it in.

Why Recycle?

Without Recycling, we would be throwing away materials that can be processed and sold for re-use. Landfills are filing up while they pollute groundwater and fill the air with methane gas. Recycling can save non-renewable resources and energy. The bottom line is that human generated waste can ruin our Valley and our planet.
